Ok why did it take me so long to try Ben’s books?? WTF IS WRONG WITH ME. This was so much fun?!
We follow Jak, a witch who is sent to kill the “beast” aka Marius the vampire, but they fall in love instead (duh). I ate this UP y’all. Now listen, some of the writing wasn’t my fave (why are we describing rain clouds as pregnant lol), but given how fast I devoured this and how much fun I had, I’m keeping my rating at 5 stars haha.
“Let me have you.” I nipped at his lip, urging a low growl to bubble from his throat and replied, “you already do.”

3.75/5 stars, going to round the review up to 4.
When I tell you I devoured this book, I mean it. I read this all in one day. I never expected that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. Truly shocked.
While I loved it, it's full of issues honestly. The lore is a bit clunky to dive into initially. The writing voice was, as others have said, a bit pretentious as well. There's a ton of grammatical errors through out and I really felt like that is easily avoidable. I also was really let down by the resolution of the conflict.
Does something need to be a masterpiece for me to enjoy the hell out of it? No. I loved this honestly. I think it's fair to critique but at the end of the day I had fun and that's what mattered!
